“ So how does one get their potassium up?”

Banannas, avacado, white or sweet potato, coconut milk, lentil, watermelon, beets, black or white beans, edamame, squash, yogurt.

Off the top of my head, there are many more

Bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, honeydew, apricots, grapefruit (some dried fruits, such as prunes, raisins, and dates, are also high in potassium)
Cooked spinach
Cooked broccoli
Potatoes
Sweet potatoes
Mushrooms
Peas
Cucumbers
Zucchini
Pumpkins
Leafy greens

Juice from potassium-rich fruit is also a good choice:

Orange juice
Tomato juice
Prune juice
Apricot juice
Grapefruit juice
Certain dairy products, such as milk and yogurt, are high in potassium (low-fat or fat-free is best).

Some fish contain potassium:

Tuna
Halibut
Cod
Trout
Rockfish
Beans or legumes that are high in potassium include:

Lima beans
Pinto beans
Kidney beans
Soybeans
Lentils
Other foods that are rich in potassium include:

Salt substitutes (read labels to check potassium levels)
Molasses
Nuts
Meat and poultry
Brown and wild rice
Bran cereal
Whole-wheat bread and pasta

Perhaps if I had done some of this earlier in life and skipped a few things I might have not had the challenges I had.

Above from Web MD and it turns out to be simply a varied moderate diet, low in salt will do it. As we age we get set in our ways and eat the same things all the time when a varied diet would be much better.

For example, for other reasons I alternate breakfast between:
Old Fashioned Oatmeal with dried fruit and sunflower seeds.
Cream of Wheat and applesauce with cinnamon
Bacon and Fried Eggs
Omlets and Sausage
Fruit Yogurt and Raisin Bran
